God's Prescription for Health.

Second reason we don't stick with it is the wrong motivation. When the goal is simply all about me,

that's not enough to keep most people going. You need something bigger than yourself to draw you

out of yourself so you can be greater than yourself to get you out of bed in the morning.

When the goal is all about me, I can't tell you how many diets I started on simply because I wanted to look good.

Kind of hard to be better looking than this, but look good, feel good, and live longer.

Now there's nothing wrong with those.

In fact, those are good goals.

Those are legitimate good goals.

But what we're talking about today is far deeper than this.

Far more spiritual significance to being in shape than simply looking good and feeling good. There are other reasons for it, and we're looking at these six reasons right now.

Appearance isn't big enough reason.

You know why I discovered that once I got to the size I wanted, I stopped caring.

I stopped trying.

I stopped doing willpower, and I'd go right back to my old habits and old ways.

And pretty soon I'm just yo-yoing back and forth.
